NOT SURE ABOUT THIS ONE

 


It's going to be a busy week I reckon, which is good. 

Today for a start, I'm going to the supermarket to start getting Christmas food... the non perishable stuff.  

I'm still going to keep our Christmas dinner minimal, but there will be a few of the more traditional things.

On a platter!  Yep, a platter lunch this year.

I whipped up a new runner yesterday afternoon (not yet quilted or bound).  

It was supposed to be a new version of a Bee Runner, but as Stew said, it is too busy to add a big bee.

ABOVE:  It hasn't come out how I envisioned it.  Just too old fashioned I think.  It might appeal to someone older?  But yeah, I don't think I will be making any more like it.  What do you think?

I will revert back to how I have done Bee Braid Runners before, thank you very much.

Shame I cut out quite a few of those colourful strips.  πŸ˜–πŸ˜•πŸ˜“

It's supposed to rain today, yaaa.  I'm already feeling the heat, and summer is only just starting.

Wait for the bitching and moaning about being too hot... in 10, 9, 8, ...  lol.


12.34 pm, and I've done the grocery shopping.  Spent way more than I expected, but hey, it's not like you buy all that extra stuff all the time eh?

Now that I'm home, I am going to have some lunch, then go and finish that colourful runner.
I was planning on shoving it in the back of the cupboard for another day/month/year, but as a few of you said it was ok, I will finish it off and take it to market.

4.15 pm:  I've managed to finish that floral Braid Runner this afternoon, but only just.  I've had a sick headache/tummy since lunchtime.  No, it wasn't my lunch.
Just stress I think.  There's been a lot going on, markets, the house etc.  Just need a break I'm sure.

9.10 pm:  Feeling much better thank goodness.  Stew arrived home and we had a lovely dinner of Gnocchi and stuff on the top.
Watched some TV, and now I'm contemplating going to bed early.

    It reminds me of pastels/spring/Easter in a good way. I can see that someone will want it.

    It's gorgeous. Lovely, bright, warm colours. I reckon they'll be popular a lot of families , ask Bex and Brylee. I love it and I'm old. Hmm where else could I put one??? Lol

    You deserve a break Chris. Make sure you take 3 weeks off when Stew is home and pamper yourself. Read a book, swim and do stuff for you. Lol and Stew!! Kj

  14. I think the new runner is very pretty.I'm sure it will get snapped up quickly at a market. I hope you're feeling better soon ... take care of yourself 🌷

  15. I think you need a little bit of self care! Take some time to do something special for yourself xx

  16. I agree with Stew, too busy for a bee 😊 and that flowery fabric does make it look sort of old fashioned. Bring back the bees!
    That damn heat! I feel for you. On the other hand we have cold and damp. Not good either. Jump in your pool.

  17. Gnocci with "stuff" on the top? Haha. What kind of stuff?
    Anyhoo, I think that runner is pretty. And having an assortment is good because when there is variety they will find a favorite!
